Asbestos Studies

Asbestos studies refer to research investigating the effects of asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction and manufacturing for its fire-resistant properties. However, inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma (a rare cancer affecting the lungs), and asbestosis (a chronic lung disease). These studies assess the risks associated with asbestos exposure, safety regulations, and the effectiveness of measures to protect workers and the public. Findings have led to stricter regulations and bans on asbestos use in many countries to prevent these health risks.
